Before the veterans of the Army Of the
Potomac at Saratoga, the orator said :
Every morning for thirty days came the
orders To storm the works in front, and
every evening for thirty nights the sur
yiyors moved TO the command, by the
right flank, forward, march " And at
the end of that fateful month, with sixty
thousand comrades dead or wounded in
the wilderness, the Army of the Potomac
once more, after four years, saw the
spires of Richmond" lie. concluded
with the remark that the peace cartel
signed at Appomatt0x made more
stable Republic than had ever been
known before.

BISMARCK POWERFUL, BUT UNHAPPY.

The Chancellor's irritability makes
him hard man to get along with,
especially for his subordinates. NJ.
Busch relates that he, one evening
in 1877, heard Bismarck complain
very bitterly Of his lot in life. His
career, lie said, had given very little
satisfaction to himself personally
and won him very few friends; he
had not added to the happiness of
himself, of his family, or of any one.
One of those who heard him say this
suggested that lie had made a great
nation happy. EYES," he replied,
''but how many other nations have
1 rendered unhappy? But for me
three great wars would never have
taken place; $4,000 men would not
have beed killed in battle; fathers,
mothers, brothers, sisters and wives
would not have been plunged into
misery. l have settled all that with
my conscience and with my Creator,
but l have reaped very little, if any,
happiness from all that / have done /;
the only thing it has yielded me are
various anxieties and griefs."

ROADS AND LAKES.

The state of the roads to-day pre-
sent strong contrast to their con-
dition during the past few weeks.
Not that there has been any i'm
provement, beyond what nature has
effected, as the authorities have done
nothing as usual, but the change
consists of the binding and sitting
dust being laid for while, and
mud and pools of water having
taken its place. There seems to be
no happy medium between the two
bugbears, dust and mud, and of the
latter we have now surfeit. Were
it only mud that we had to contend
against, it might be considered
supererogatory TO growl, but we are
surrounded on all sides by pools of
water, and without wading ankle
deep, aye, even knee-deep in some
places it is impossible to walk the
Streets. Take Alakea street for in
STANCE, The water comes down

carrying bombs under their plaids.
London, April 10th.-A dispatch
from st. Petersburg to the "Daily
News" says: The most alarming re-
ports respecting the Gear have been
in circulation here. One rumor was
to the effect that mine had been
discovered under the Imperial Palace
at Gatschina, but it is learned on the
best authority that this report is UNI
true. 1t was also said that no arrests
were made at Gatschina, as was re-
ported. On Wednesday, however,
when the Gear was driving to Cats
china Station, man and woman
were seized at the corner of Nevski
Prospect and the Great Morskaia, ten
minutes before the Cars carriage
passed. Another person tried to
present petition rs the Car passed,
but was arrested before he could
reach the carriage. 1t has not yet
been ascertained positively whether
or not the persons arrested had any
criminal intentions. The Gear was
in perfect health and in excellent
spirits.
Vienna and Berlin kilograms con-
firm the foregoing, and state that the
culprits stood upon the steps of an
uninhabited house and carried bombs
under plaid shawls. 1t is supposed
that the petitioner was an accomplice
OF the other two, and did not know
that the latter had been arrested.
The Car knew nothing of the ar
rests. He sat beside the Czarina, and
kept bowling to the populace. They
were returning to Gatschina from the
Winter Palace, where they had been
receiving the japanese Prince.
The "Times" st. Petersburg cores
pondent confirms the statement that
number of arrests were made there
ON Wednesday, on the occasion of
the visit of the Car, but says he is
unable to confirm the report that a
fresh attempt hac been made on the
Cars life.

THE PAPAl REVENUE.

A foreign diplomatist accredited
to Rome gives the following account
of the present Pope's income and
what he does with it. The Pontiflcal
revenue is derived from three separ-
ate sources. The first is the interest
of an enormous sum left by Pope
Plus TX to the Papal Treasury,
which interest produces some $780,
900. The capital of this is invested
in English Government funds. Con-
trary to what some persons might
imagine, Leo XIII is great specu-
lator, and subscribes to all the
Italian loans. When the latter rise
he sells out and invests the profits in
English consols. To the revenue
left by Plus TX must be added a
sum almost equal in amount furnish
ed by the Peters Pence fund,
which, however, has fallen off of
late years. This constitutes the
ordinary budget OF the Holy See as
distinguished from the extraordinary
budget. The latter is derived from
third source, and is supplied by
the receipts Of the Apostolic Chan
celery. The collation. Of titles of
nobility, decorations, blessings In
drticatio morris, altar privileges,
private chapels, ecclesiastical titles

the INVENTOR OF the BRENNAN
TORPEDO.

A cablegram from London states
that f30,00O had been proposed as
part of a vote of f110,OO0, to be
given to Captain Brennan for his
torpedo rights. The story of the
invention is remarkable, and quite
as authentic as that of Watt and the
tea-kettle. Mr.. Brennan, who is
just thirty years of age, when a
mere youth, was in Melbourne
engine-fitting shop. Sitting at
home one evening, lie amused him
self with pulling at the cotton on a
reel of thread on the table, and was
struck by noticing that the more he
pulled the further the reel rolled
away. At that time torpedoes were
the rage, owing to the execution
they had done during the Russo
Turkish war. The Whitehead tor
pedo was then the principal arm of
the kind, and the only fault found
with it was that it would move in
but one direction, so that the prey
was able, if warned in time, to es-
cape by changing its course. The
case was that of the wild beast,
which, failing in its first attack,
tried no more. Experiments were
being made to get more command
over it. The young Melbournite,
like other men in the engineering
way, had thought of this, and what
a reward would meet the successful
inventor, and the motion of the reel
gave him clue which he patiently
worked upon. Mr.. Brennan found
scientific supporter in Professor
Kernot, of Melbourne University,
and financial backeS in Mr.. CAL
vert, Melbourne printer, and his
brother, Mr.. Samuel Calvert, the
well-known Little Collins-street en-
graver. The two brothers found
the money to make working
models. After a good deal of pres
sure, Sir G. Berry, then at the head
of the Victorian Ministry, was per-
suaded to find Government money
for trial, which proved so satisfactory
that the Cabinet recommended it to
the Imperial War Office. The
friends of the clever young inventor
had to dance attendance on the
little great men to obtain a show for
the Australian inventor. The in.
vention was then taken up by Mr..
Millar, the railway contractor, who
found the necessary funds for Mr..
Brennan to 60 to England, to en-
deavour to get the British War
Office to adopt the torpedo. Mr..
Brennan must have had big fight
with the do-nothings of Sir Joseph
Porter, X. G. b., for years have
elapsed since the Victorian youth
went home, and yet the torpedo was
only adopted a few days since.
However, perseverance has been
rewarded.

budget. 1t amounts to an average
of $5OO,00 per annum, and serves
to make up the private purse of the
Sovereign Pontiff, and on which he
relies to exercise his generosity. II
will be observed that the private
budget of the Pope is thus derived,
in a great measure, from the salts
faction of human vanity. The ordi-
nary budget of the Holy See, which,
as stated above, amounts to S ,200,-
600 per annum, is distributed by the
major domo of the Vatican among
the Cardinals residing in Rome
about $4,000 a year each-thc pre-
lates of the Papal court, the secre-
taries, the nuncios, the Pontilical
body-guards, etc.
1t is denied that Leo NH is
avaricious. On the contrary, no
Pope ever gave more, his Holiness
keeping nothing for himself. As for
his table, il resembles that of poor
country curate. His clothes cost
him nothing, being supplied by the
faithful from all parts of the world,
and he scarcely keeps a penny to
to enrich even his own family. The
dowry he gave to his favorite nephew,
the handsome Camille Pecci, did not
reach $4,000, while as for the
presents he gave the bride, they were
Of the poorest kind. On the other
hand, he spends great deal in rails
ing the prestige Of his court, in
creating schools, relieving the poor
and maintaining the Catholic press.
He gives large subsidies to papers
which support his policy, but they
must be entirely subservient to him.
AS yet he has not touched a penny
of the annual allowance of $500, 900
accorded to the Vatican under the
law of Papal Guarantees, passed
when Victor Emanuel took possess
sion of Rome. The annual income
has gone on accu'nulating throughout
all these seventeen years, and now
reaches an enormous sum. The
Italian bishops and clergy are paid
by the Italian government since the
death of Plus MN. Y. Mail and

AN IMPORTANT DECISION OF The
SUPREME COURT IN BANCO.

Yesterday afternoon the Supreme
Court rendered its decision in the
case Of the The King versus Young
Tang. The defendant had been found
guilty in the Police Court of Homo
lulu of "having opium unlawfully in
his possession" An appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court on points OF
law, and Mr.. j. Il. Dare, his attorney,
moved for the defendants discharge
on the grounds-first, that the Crown
has not proven it's charge of unlaw-
full possession of opium: second, that
the possession of opium under the
law of 1886 is not crime: and,
third, that the Act of 1886 is uncon-
stitutional and therefore void and of
no effect. The Court, for reasons
specified, overrules the first point.
The second point is sustained, and
the Court, "with much regret" says
"that the mere possession of opium is
not an offence punishable by any law
now in force" With regard to the
third point, after enlarging somewhat
upon "the duty of the Cohrt where
questions involving the constitution
ality of u law are presented" the
Court adopts "the principle which
prevails in other Courts, that the
Court will not pass upon a constitu-
tional question and declare IL statute
to be invalid, unless a decision upon
that very point becomes necessary to
the determination of the cause" And
as it is found "that the defendant in
this case cannot be punished by any
law now in force for the offence OF
which he is charged" "the question
whether this law is in conflict wi h
the Constitution becomes immaterial,"
and is not therefore passed upon,
The judgment of the lower Court was
reversed, and the defendant dis
charged.
